Chapter 78 First Battle of His Career! Who is this kid? [Seeking First Subscription]

"Today's match seems quite interesting!" Wawa, as the event organizer, started the conversation.

"Oh? What are the highlights?" Miller asked knowingly, perfectly playing the role of the straight man.

"First of all, the duel between Uzi and imp, two top AD carries, is definitely a major highlight!"

Wawa continued, "In addition, LGD has also made adjustments to its starting lineup today."

“Yes!” Miller nodded. “LGD has suffered three consecutive losses since the start of the Spring Split this year, so today LGD has replaced Funny, the starting top laner from the last game, with a new top laner!”

"Let me take a look at this new top laner. His ID is quite simple, it's called Zhou, which probably comes from his surname!"

"According to official information, this match is Zhou's first professional match!"

"I wonder if bringing in a new top laner will bring some positive changes to LGD!"

At this point, the players from both sides were already seated in their seats, and the equipment had been tested and adjusted.

The screen in the official LPL live stream.

Before the draft phase even started, the director's camera panned across the players.

The camera suddenly stopped when it passed in front of Zhou Dian.

At first glance, he appears to be a handsome young man, neither too fat nor too thin, with a rosy complexion, giving off a very healthy vibe.

Perhaps because this was Zhou Dian's first time on the professional stage, the director gave him a special close-up shot.

In close-up, it's clear that Zhou Dian has no pimples or dark circles under his eyes, and he looks completely different from other professional players who often stay up late and are usually listless.

Moreover, although Zhou Dian's facial features are not particularly handsome, his eyes are very bright, and at first glance, it seems that a sharp light is radiating from them.

Noticing that the camera was "watching" him, Zhou Dian smiled at the lens.

The chat room for the live event immediately became lively.

[Mom, he smiled at me, and I feel like I've fallen in love!]

At this moment, I've even thought of a name for my child!

[Damn you, Nan Tong, can't you just get lost?!]

Holy crap, this kid's eyes are practically glowing, he's got that intimidating aura!

[Damn, who's this kid? He's kind of handsome!]

[LGD's new top laner! You didn't listen to a word the commentators said!]

Sorry, I watch the games on mute; I can't hear a single word of the LPL commentary!

【.】

As the top laner, Zhou Dian's seat was located on the far side of the players' bench.

So after lingering on him briefly, the camera quickly panned back across the players' seating area.

However, the discussion about Zhou Dian among the viewers in the live broadcast room has not ended.

When did LGD get their new top laner? Who is he?

[They just changed him for today's match! As for his background, I don't know anything about him, but he's never played professionally before.]

Wow, LGD could afford to buy MaRin for the top lane last year, but this year they can only buy random players. The difference is too big! Does Pan Jie not want to play anymore?

LGD really lacks ambition; they seem to just want to coast along. It would be a joke if they got relegated!

【No, what's wrong with a random passerby? Even if he's bad at the game, he's handsome!】

[He's just average, not even half as handsome as you guys!]

You know how to talk, kid!

【.】

Some viewers who don't follow LGD often are still lamenting LGD's decline.

The real LGD fans have already exhausted their saliva from cursing and have long since run out of energy to curse.

In the commentary box.

Miller said a few polite words and offered his blessings to the newlyweds, Zhou.

At this moment, the draft phase had already appeared on the big screen, and Miller quickly returned to commentating on the match. "Okay, the first game of the regular season BO3 between RNG and LGD has begun. RNG will choose their side in the first game, and they have chosen the blue side, while LGD is on the red side!" Miller said quickly.

"RNG immediately banned Varus, while LGD banned Caitlyn!"

Since the Chinese server released versions 7.2 and 7.3 together, they have only been online for a few days.

Therefore, LPL matches will still use version 7.1.

It will take some time before it is updated to version 7.3.

Although it is now Season 7, the three legendary players who dominated the entire Season 6 are still active in the top lane in the new season, and their influence remains.

Of course, in the new season, there are two more playable damage-dealing top laners – Jayce and Camille.

Even though Camille was nerfed in patch 7.1, her mechanics remain powerful and she is incredibly suitable for professional play.

Jayce, on the other hand, requires more skill in both laning and team fights.

A skilled player can gain an advantage from the very beginning.

But I'm terrified of getting caught, yet I'm also incredibly easy to catch!
The term "playable" here naturally refers to a strong version.

If you just want to have fun, you can pick any hero to play.

Whether we can win or not is another matter entirely!
Soon, both sides completed the first round of bans.

RNG banned Varus, Kha'Zix, and LeBlanc.

LGD banned Caitlyn, Camille, and Rengar.

Compared to Season 6, the biggest difference in Season 7 is not the changes to the game content.

Instead of the previous 6 bans, it has now become 10 bans.

The ban/pick process has changed from one round to two rounds.

With more heroes being banned, this undoubtedly puts a greater strain on players' hero pools.

This change will still be implemented first in professional esports, while the 10-ban ban/pick system will not be available in casual ranked games until May.

After the first round of bans, RNG, on the blue side, got to pick first.

Letme immediately said, "Brother Feng, I want to play Jayce!"

Last week, Letme dominated Flandre's Fiora with Jayce, and now he's very confident in his Jayce.

However, Brother Feng had a feeling that something was amiss.

If they pick Jayce first, they are very likely to be countered by LGD.

Feng Ge couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

The problem still lies with LGD's new top laner.

The debut of such unknown players on the field often brings trouble.

Because you don't know what he's good at or what he's used to.

Feng Ge hates the feeling of being out of control in this situation.

So he decided to play it safe for now.

After all, the top lane position is the one in League of Legends that relies most heavily on the opponent's counter-pick.

He was afraid that LGD might have some dirty tricks up their sleeve, so he was a little hesitant to let Letme pick Jayce, a double-edged sword champion, first.

Feng Ge knows all too well what level Letme's Jayce is at.

He's far from being a top-tier Jayce player who can ignore counters and dominate the lane.

"Get Xiangguo a jungler first!" Feng instructed.

Upon hearing this, Letme immediately said, "What if the other team picks Jayce?"

"Let them fight over it then. We have plenty of ways to target Jayce. I'd love for him to pick Jayce!"

Feng Ge continued, "Time's almost up, hurry up and pick the spider!"
